How to Protect the Longevity of your Washer and Dryer Set
Have you recently purchased a washer and dryer set? Then you may have experienced what’s commonly known as sticker shock. That’s right – washers and dryers aren’t cheap these days. In fact, the best models are downright pricey! But most homeowners find that investing in a quality washer and dryer set is worth the extra cost. Plenty of people purchase the washer and dryer set that has the lowest price tag, only to find that just a few months or perhaps a year later, they’re back at square one, trying to purchase another one.
Protecting longevity
When you’ve invested in a quality washer and dryer set, along with its accompanying steep price tag, then you’ll want to do everything in your power to protect your investment and preserve the longevity of it. If you follow these tips, the lifespan of your washer and dryer will extend many months or potentially even years beyond what your expectations. You won’t have to worry about replacing them for a good long while when you follow this advice from the home appliance experts at Authorized Appliance.
Keep it clean
Many people don’t realize this, but no matter what, your washer and dryer begins getting dirty over time. It doesn’t make that much sense – you’d think that they would stay clean because they’re cleaning your clothes – but it’s true. Bacteria and other microbes build up over time and soon, your washer and dryer begin to stink. The best way to keep your washer fresh is by running an empty cycle (no clothes) with a cup of baking soda and a cup of vinegar. Then take a cloth, wet it with vinegar, and wipe down your dryer on a regular basis. Baking soda and vinegar have wonderful purification properties, plus vinegar has a wonderful ability to naturally neutralize odors.
Leave your washer and dryer doors open for a few hours after cleaning them. Plus it’s always a good idea to leave these doors open between cycles so they can air out properly each time you use them.
Address maintenance issues promptly
If you notice that your washer and dryer are taking much longer than usual to complete a cycle, or perhaps all the soap isn’t coming out of your clothes as it normally would when you run your washer, or perhaps the timer isn’t working on your dryer, it’s essential that you call an experienced home appliance repair company ASAP.
